I frequently hear the Pilated Woodpecker hammering away.
Because of the leaf cover, it is often hard to see them,
let alone to have enough light to photograph them.
Last night I heard one in their favorite tree.
As I was trying to get a picture,
I saw some other movement.
Sure enough, there was a friend.
She finally worked her way higher up into the sunlight.
The surprise came, when she took off.
Three large Pilateds flew off for another tree!
The family has grown since last year.

One flew into my yard in the early spring and I was so excited!! I love these brightly colored birds. You did a great job of getting your photos, especially that last one.
Beautiful photos of the Pileated Woodpeckers, Janice. IF you put some peanut suet out---they'll come to your feeders.....
Hugs,

I hear what I think is a Pilated Woodpecker everytime I step outside this year. Have not seen it yet, and probably won't get to, probably on the ridge across from my house. Glad to know I might someday get to see it. Thanks for sharing.
How exciting! I've never seen them in pairs, let alone the whole family! They are such beautiful birds, thanks for sharing your photos with us :)
Hope you're doing well Janice :)
